My initial thought was to set the log cabins on point and do a border but I wanted the quilt to have a softer feel. As I was picking out all the dusty pinks and linen hues, some freckled berries rolled into my lap and they seemed to be just the thing, these summer roses were waiting for. After that everything fell into place.
Inspiration for this layout came from Kathy’s lions in flowers.Kathy is so sweet & lovely and I feel so lucky to have come across her playful and light hearted quilts a little while ago.
I could just sit and gape and admire her endlessly fun compositions for all the minutes in a day…
She kindly sent a piece of Lion fabric along with some adorable bits to use in my string quilt. But I felt they definitely needed to be showcased in their very own quilt.Till then I’ll just pet them and safely put them back.
Thanks a bunch, Kathy ( ' u ' )
Have a happy day! ( " v " )
